Go to your local deli and order platters of food you save yourself a lot of time and the money you might spend at the grocery store may be more than if you order platters from the deli. Just be sure to give them enough notice, usually 24hrs. If you do go to the food store buy generic/store brands.

You have to make sure that you keep the food at a certain temperature, out of the sun and if it requires to, be in the fridge or freezer.

You will need to decide what to serve, and then determine the quantity of each type of food you will need to serve 100 people.

You should look at the portion sizes you'd like one person to have, then multiply it by 120. This will make up for spillage or spoilage.

Consider the type of meal, time of day, gender and ages of the people invited. If you are planning a large variety of foods, don't plan to serve 100 with each dish. One serving of meat, 2 of bread and 2 of vegetables for each person should suffice.
